I think that with the cool rainy weather we've had recently
nighthawks may be having trouble getting enough food and so they were
feeding at a time you normally wouldn't see them. I know that at my watch
site in Fairfax City I have seen very few flying insects, especially
dragonflies the past few evenings.
